Wang Leru lost to Lin Shuguang, and the look of disbelief on her face never faded before she left.
Only after she left did Wang Yabei catch up. Unable to find his sister, he mistakenly assumed Wang Leru had never come and did not trouble Lin Shuguang further.
Lin Shuguang sat in his room, toying with his saber.
A small slip of paper had appeared on the table before him-[Meet at the rear mountain at midnight tonight. We'll take you into the institute.]
Someone had slipped this note inside while Lin Shuguang was fighting Wang Leru.
Who had left it...
Lin Shuguang searched his memories but could not find a single clue.
"Bzz-"
His soul left his body.
Lin Shuguang returned to reality once more.
Sure enough, the Blood-colored Demonic Saber was gone again.
"That guy... always coming and going without a trace."
He pulled up his Attribute Panel.
This time, his soul's departure from his body had increased his mental power by over sixty points, once again the largest increase. His strength, agility, and defense had each increased by around thirty points.
At this rate, Lin Shuguang would very likely break through again before school started. The Profound Connection Realm was within reach!
Early the next morning, Bai Heng arrived on time to drive Lin Shuguang to work.
"Any progress over at Luoshan?"
Hearing Lin Shuguang's question, Bai Heng immediately replied, "Nothing yet. Experts from the province are coming today. They said they're bringing specialized instruments that can monitor the magnetic field nearby. There might be new developments this afternoon..."
After hesitating, Bai Heng asked quietly, "Director Lin, do ghosts really exist in this world?"
Lin Shuguang opened his eyes and looked over. "Do you think gods really exist in this world?"
"Well..." Bai Heng froze for a moment.
